16. And whatever you and your brethren are minded to do with gold and silver, that perform, according to the will of your God.
17. And the holy vessels of the Lord, which are given you for the use of the temple of your God, which is in Jerusalem:
18. and whatever thing else you shall remember for the use of the temple of your God, you shall give it out of the king’s treasury.
19. And I king Artaxerxes have also commanded the keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phoenicia, that whatever Esdras the priest and reader of the law of the Most High God shall send for, they should give it him with all diligence,
20. to the sum of a hundred talents of silver, likewise also of wheat even to a hundred measures, and a hundred firkins of wine, and salt in abundance.
